48, have they got a care package in place? Does your Mum's partner really understand what he's going to have to do?
Is there a community stroke rehab team? The level of input some can provide will make that transition much easier and much more supported.
Sometimes it's hard for patients and relatives to understand how much harder it is at home rather than in hospital, where everything is done for you, and that trial at home is the only way to demonstrate it. If, however, you disagree with them discharging her just yet, then you can push for a bit more time.
It might help to point out to the hospital (if she's in a sub-acute stroke ward rather than a community based rehab unit) that you will be readmitting her at the first sign of problems so they'll have a failed discharge on their hands, if you don't think they should be discharging her yet. They get fined for those, you know.
At a push, do you really think she doesn't understand the explanations she's been given about what's happened? Have the SLTs assessed her understanding? It's not the nicest/easiest of things to do, but if she's saying she wants to go home but doesn't understand the implications of that, you can always question her capacity to make that decision.
Sorry you're going throught this, it's a scary time.
Watch, please don't think anyone's criticising you, I get the impression that people here just care about you and are worried, that's all. I read some of the earlier posts and thought 'Aww, it's like the threads come over all maternal'. Me, I think you know what you're doing, and I agree, it seems to be the excitement rather than the romance that you're enjoying.
As for me, thank you all for asking, well it's pretty much over now, bar the bawling that I'll probably do more of. It might sound odd, but having been here before, I took control of what was happening this time, and that made it a lot easier. I still think more needs to be done to improve access to services for women going through this, and I hate the superstitions that stop people talking about early pregnancy and therefore getting the support that helps so much. That's for a different thread though, I sincerely appreciate the fact that you've all allowed me to derail this one rather than starting my own.
